An exemption is needed for which scenario?

• A. Any operational limits not specifically listed in Part 107
• B. Flying at or below 400 feet in Class G
• C. Flying in Class B airspace
• D. When the sUAS has a camera

Answer: (A)

Exemptions are used when you want to do something that Part 107 does not specifically authorize. The FAA sets a baseline of allowable operations, and any deviation from those limits—such as flying beyond the stated limits, operating at night, or beyond visual line of sight—needs a waiver or exemption approved by the FAA. In this scenario, the need for an exemption comes from planning to operate under operational limits that aren’t listed in Part 107. The other options don’t require an exemption: staying at or below 400 feet AGL in Class G is within the standard limit; operating in Class B airspace requires an airspace authorization (through LAANC), not an exemption; and simply having a camera on the sUAS is allowed under Part 107.
